Yeah I really need to have a chat to Chris about his brakes and what they were like. Might seem silly to some but I always said that if I was upgrading bits on my car I would fit top shelf stuff thats got proven results. That being said, I'm not made of money and the cost of an Alcon or AP set is pretty hard to justify when the china stuff seems to do ok....

Just rip the G4 sticker off and put a Brembro sticker on....problem solved :thumbsup:

Alcon or AP/Brembo ftw. JFK seems to do ok with CSC/Bmax brakes. D2/G4 is cheap, but hey whatever works and suits your budget. We are only talking about sprints/club level motorsport here.

Personally I buy expensive brand stuff because 1) I'm a brand whore 2) I can afford it. Each to their own I say. I may have somewhat expensive brakes, but they aren't over the top... and it doesn't mean shit if the rest of the car hasn't had appropriate money spent on the right areas too.

Are you going to review them on track as well?

Have a read here Ant:

Read the whole thread - it'll take you a good 15-20mins, and Bris's response is very interesting to that other review.

Hence I'll do one for SAU and ensure it takes into account as much as i can, also comparing to a set of Alcon from Aaron @ Import Monster who is going to donate the workshop and stuff to help us out :)

I wont be able to a back to back @ track, given my current "brakes" resemble more of an angle grinder than anything else, so it wouldnt be reasoanble. I'll rely on Chris's input for that section given he's done that and then did a 1:19 with them on @ Sandown already.

End of the day if a D2/G4/Q234 kit offers for instance - 90% of the performance of an Alcon, well under half the price. I don't think there is a point of argument :D

Hey Ants, great read mate. Great to see it's back together and ready to rock. The rocker covers looks great and very autosalon!

Gday mate...looong time no hear! Thanks for the comments :cheers:
